Aberdeen's recent form suggests they could be in for a competitive match against Dundee Utd. With three wins and a draw in their last five games, Aberdeen will be looking to exploit their attacking prowess, particularly through players like Marko Lazetić and Topi Keskinen. Their solid defensive performances, as seen in their 1-0 win against Livingston, could be crucial in containing Dundee Utd's threats.

Dundee Utd, on the other hand, have shown resilience with three draws and a win in their recent outings. Their ability to hold strong teams like Celtic and Rangers to draws indicates they can be tough to break down. However, their loss to St. Mirren might give Aberdeen some hope of finding a way through Dundee Utd's defence. The match could be closely contested, with both teams having moments of dominance.

Aberdeen have been in good form recently, securing three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five matches. Their victories against Kilmarnock and Dundee, coupled with a solid performance against Livingston, suggest they are building momentum.
